tyrants, kings, monks, aristocrats not of the people. Is this the case in any real sense ? Whose, let us ask ourselves, was the creative thought that worked out the wonderful design and each marvelous feature of temple and cathedral, mausoleum and monument, statue, arch, and aqueduct ? Whose money con- tributed largely to the making of these ? And whose was the greatest pleasure and pride in them ?

Then what has all of this been to the rest of the world ? The mind cannot form a picture of the earth without the beauty, aside from the utility, of these creations of man. The charm of foreign travel, and the general satisfaction and enjoyment of life can we think how different these would be without such beauty and our varied inheritances from it ? Then, besides the delight, how much of what is of value in our knowledge of a people is found in the manifestations of their real life and their ideal conceptions through sculpture, architecture, painting, music, even leaving out poetry and eloquence ; and what has been
